Forbidden City Pu-erh Melon Pictures

I was reading about a 100 year old 3.3 Kg pu-erh melon on display in the Forbidden City in China.

Has anyone seen it, or have pictures of it?

Thanks for any information you may have.

I was reading about a 2006 pu-erh, and it peaked my interested. I figured if I could get an answer it would be here at steepster.

“This blend was developed during the early Qing Dynasty as a tribute tea by a Yunnan governor wishing to regain lost favor with the Emperor. Even now there is a hundred year old golden melon in the Forbidden City on display. It is considered a work of art. It is made by only using first grade mao cha and it weighs 3300 grams.” – Seven Cups
